Pontellier’s property. Edna partly believes that if she can prove her independence from her husband that Robert will want to be with her. She no longer cared about the needs of her husband she was fully lost in her own dreams. “Without even waiting for an answer from her husband regarding his opinions of wishes in the matter, Edna hastened her preporations for quitting her home on Esplanade street and moving into the little house around the block”(Choplin 84). Moving out of her husband’s house made her feel free, she didn’t want to be surrounded by her husband’s belongings, she wanted to be completely self-efficient.

At the end due to the inability of Abby to succeed in her liberty, she witnesses lack of strength and the fear her mother has at the Blarney Stone. In Morrison’s Sula, the mother’s emotional and nurturing detachment from the daughters through generations helps all of them create a female-self identity. This lack of nurture may be a direct result of the maternal figure's focus on survival, as Eva can't take time to show love for her children but is able to sacrifice a leg to ensure physical endurance. In her mind these acts confess her love for them while in Hanna's head, the emotional connection that she needs from her mother is not present. As Hannah becomes a mother herself and a mother being the first model of love that the children experiences, she emotionally detaches herself from Sula as she was detached from her mother.
Lady Douglas' call for the retrieval of her daughter does not come out of a sense of responsibility for said daughter but is instead motivated by the possible social implications and consequences of her daughter's actions and how those actions would reflect on her and her family. "Let it never be said that a daughter of thine / Was married to a lord under night." The call to arms of the men in her family by Lady Douglas was not necessary in the middle of the night, as her daughter had already willingly left her home with Lord William in the name of love. Without the mothers call the men would have been none the wiser to Lady Margret's actions until morning and may have been more logical about their approach to the situation. As such Lady Douglas holds a portion of the responsibility for her son's deaths.

Yet Edna is not the typical woman, as she believes in expressing herself and living freely without society’s rules and oppression holding her down. Throughout the beginning of the novel it is shown that Edna is not the typical creole woman. For example: “Mr. Pontellier returned to his wife with the information that Raoul had a high fever and need looking after”. “If it was not a mother’s place to look after children, then whose on earth was it?”(1) Edna being improper by not being attentive to her husband or not the mother figure proves that she is not a typical creole mother and wife.

He describes it “inhumane” that Gandhi would be willing to stand idly while his wife and children die instead of permitting them to eat animal food prescribed by a doctor. Apparently by eating it and staying alive, one would have committed a sin according to Gandhi. Being loyal to a close friend was not suggested by him, seeing as how it could evidently lead to making poor decisions and thus, committing a sin. Although Orwell agreed on this, he also thought that as social beings, humans must have precious people in their lives. Orwell then stresses the point that humans should not seek for perfection.
Eva's relationship with her mother is that she is reliant on her mother and at the start of the play you can see that Helga is trying to make Eva independant. 'You don't need me' and 'There's no later left' show us that Helga feels guilty for having to leave Eva but by saying 'You have to be able to manage on your own' this shows us that Helga knows that Eva and her will possibly never see each other again and Eva needs to be able to survive without her mother. Her relationship with her mother is very disciplined as you can see that her mother is trying to cut off her emotions when it comes to Eva, Eva senses her mother trying to push her away when she says 'Why won't you help me?'. Helga's language is very withdrawn and full of imperatives also suggesting her plan to try and make Eva independant. Eva's discourse shows lack of control.
